Since the launch of "Dear Child", it has caused audiences to think about marriage and fertility, and different groups have argued endlessly.

In the finale, He He, the daughter of Fang Yinuo (played by Ren Suxi) and ex-husband Xiao Lu (played by Qin Hao), finally waited for a bone marrow transplant.

Then, the picture cuts to the year of "He He is eight years old", and the voice-over Chinese Fang Yinuo is helping He He with his homework.

It seems that the family who has experienced hardship finally ushered in a happy life.

  Compared with the original movie "Left and Right", the hero and heroine still have difficulty making a choice between human nature and life. The ending of "Dear Child" is also thought-provoking: some viewers believe that life should be hopeful and beautiful, and grow up with life. Suffering is calm and reconciled; some people think that tragic choices may be more suitable for showing the complexity of human nature.

  Why does the same play lead to so many different understandings?

A week after the broadcast of "Dear Child", a reporter from the Beijing News surveyed 350 viewers' perceptions of "Dear Child", and interviewed Dai Ying, the chief producer of the show, and Hu Kun, the director and screenwriter.

When the reporter asked how Hu Kun wanted the audience to evaluate this work, he did not answer, but said: "Maybe different audiences will have different feelings, but I just hope that the audience will read it by themselves and get the answers they want. ."

  audience says

  Only 10% of the audience are uneasy, most of them are watching the drama rationally

  "Dear Child" tells the story of Fang Yinuo and Xiao Lu, a young couple who had various conflicts after giving birth to their child, He He, and eventually divorced.

Years later, the two remarried separately, but He He suffered from leukemia. They could only have another child to save their daughter, so they made a series of difficult choices.

  Faced with such a story, in the Beijing News' survey, audiences with different life states and stages of life presented completely different perceptions and attitudes.

  Nearly 50% of the audience said that they could view the plot of "Dear Child" rationally and learn from it how to face the feathers of life.

The audience, Ms. Wang, said that she had been reflecting on whether she was as "hypocritical" as Fang Yinuo, who had just given birth, while watching the show. Her husband jokingly replied, "So you should watch more dramas like this." Among nearly five adults, 24% are married and have children, but 59% of viewers are unmarried and single.

For the unmarried group, "Dear Child" seems like a textbook that looks forward to marriage and family relations from different perspectives, so that they can grasp the relatively bad psychological state in advance when facing the unknown.

For the opposite group, who are going through the stages of marriage and parenting, this "textbook" seems to be their methodology for dealing with current life.

  Compared with the rationality of nearly 50% of the audience, 14% of the audience expressed apprehension, anxiety, and at a loss about the life they have not experienced.

Among them, 70% are from unmarried and single young people, and two are divorced single people.

  Feeling the difference isn't just for the plot.

In the face of the male and female protagonists Xiao Lu and Fang Yinuo, audiences have different levels of empathy and understanding of their performance in marriage and family relationships.

  After the show was broadcast, #beloved child Xiao Lu was so angry that # once occupied the hot search seat.

In the survey, 68.6% of the audience also expressed the same feeling, believing that as a husband, he "blindly and muddy the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and does not solve the problem".

But almost the same proportion of viewers said they "understand the pressure and confusion of a man".

The proportion of viewers who are single, single, and married and have children is almost the same.

In the same way, for Fang Yinuo, who was urged to divorce by the audience, most of the audience expressed their distress and understanding, which also caused the emotional substitution of many women of childbearing age.

However, in the Beijing News survey, 40% of the audience also believed that his personality was slightly strong, he lacked understanding and communication with his family, and even seemed too nervous and irrational about his children.

The above seems to prove that the understanding of the respective identities and responsibilities of men and women in marriage and family does not depend on age and status, but is closely related to different values ​​and perspectives.

  main creative talk

  In the original script, Xiao Lu investment bank manager, Fang Yinuo fashion buyer

  "This drama has a more objective perspective, which allows us to look at ourselves from different positions." Dai Ying talked about why she was moved by "Dear Child".

  In recent years, many film and television works have appeared in characters with a protagonist halo or "silly white sweet".

In Dai Ying's view, the "objective" perspective of drama should be "not one-sided" when describing events and characters, that is, in addition to depicting, it should also show what is behind the story?

What have these characters been through?

"Real people are not perfect, they all have their own shortcomings." This is one of the important reasons for the audience to resonate and cause different thinking.

  Dai Ying still remembers that when she got the original script, the background of the story took place in Shanghai, Xiao Lu was an investment bank manager, and Fang Yinuo was a fashion buyer.

Later, the creators thought that it was still necessary to make a work that took place in a small city, with fireworks and flying close to the ground.

Therefore, Xiao Lu's occupation was changed to a company employee, and Fang Yinuo's occupation was changed to a teacher.

Hu Kun said that everyone in "Dear Child" is an ordinary person. They have to pay the mortgage, squeeze the subway, and take the bus; they have the pressure of life and work, including emotional problems.

This is where the sense of authenticity comes from.

  After watching Xiao Lu and Shi Mu, I felt the lack of male emotion

  In Dai Ying's view, a large number of successful and light-hearted works in recent years have had successful cases. Realist works that are sharp and tingling are real, and there are periodic breaks, and the market will inevitably converge.

It is for this reason that "Dear Child" does not always give the audience a feeling, some fresh, some strong.

  In addition, Dai Ying believes that whether "Dear Child" shows the real state of women's childbirth, or the chicken feathers that marriage and family relations may face after childbirth, these difficulties are not terrible. What is terrible is that people dare not face them. .

"When conflicts occur, we are all emotional first, and rarely think about how to solve the problem from an objective point of view. Now we throw this problem directly, and it may have many different effects. But if you see life is the worst and difficult On the one hand, when you are facing life, first of all you may no longer be afraid; on the contrary, you may have a sense of contentment with the life you have now.”

  Dai Ying in her life is also a working mother who has gone through the stages of childbirth and childcare.

She knows that women are inevitably anxious and sensitive after giving birth, so she naturally considers the problem from Fang Yinuo's point of view.

"But after watching this drama, I can understand men from another perspective." The scene that impressed her most was Xiao Lu's younger brother Xiao Xu smoking at home and burning the curtains. The whole family was accusing and questioning Xiao Lu. .

"In the first half of the scene, I also felt that Xiao Lu just didn't do anything. As a husband, he was a mess at home. But Qin Hao's performance was great. He expressed that a man really worked hard and hoped that everyone would be well, but he couldn't. Fa's helplessness. At the same time, no one has considered him, because there are children in the family, and the role of father will naturally be ignored by many people. At that time, I reflected that men may also have emotional deficiencies. "

  In the first half of "Dear Child", the audience may struggle with the difficulties, hardships, and helplessness of life; but as the two families work together to save the child, the audience feels the strength and warmth of life.

This is why "Dear Child" gave the audience a happy ending.

"Behind these reconciliations, audiences will learn how to find a fulcrum in their family life," Dai Ying said.
